This is a question Stupid Tourists

What's the stupidest thing you've ever heard a tourist say? Ever heard an American talking about visiting "Scotchland, England", or (and this one is actually real) a Japanese couple talking about the correct way to say Clapham is actually Clatham, as "ph" sounds are pronounced "th". Which has a certain logic really. UPDATE: Please, no more Loogabarooga stories. It's getting like, "and I opened my eyes and my mum had left me a cup of tea!"

Vietnam again... Mrs Humpty's experiences.
Picture this: it REALLY happened. Its not Funny, Its just a couple of increadably stupid tourists.

Mrs Humpty was on holiday back-packing in Vietnam, and at one point stopped to visit the War Remnant Museum in Saigon/Ho Chi Minh City It documents the horror of the war: Napalm, Mutilation, abuse, torture, and the rows and rows of innocent civilians layed out and rotting.

The main reason for this museum seems to be to serve as a reminder of the nastyness that occurs when one country feels it is better than another, and goes galavanting in with guns blazing. Ahem.

The famous picture of the napalmed lass running naked and screaming along the road towards a bunch of photographers was there, and that was one of the more cheery images when compared to the well-documented horror.

Everyone was moving from picture to picture in shocked silence, with many grown adults: men and women, from many nations crying as thier brains faught to comprehend the tragic scenes they surveyed.

The last thing she expected to hear in such a sobering place was the two Male US Citizens laughing at a picture a US soldier holding the head of a Vietnamese who's head he'd just taken as a trophy...

Pre-Emptive-Shh!!..... If you instantly assume that this account of an actual happening is a deliberate slur on ALL americans, you are a fool and a dullard of pitifully low intellegence: Go directly to the sterilisation Clinic: Do not pass go, Do not collect £200
